Soon-to-retire Chris Gayle is indeed the ‘Universe Boss’. Here are pictures to prove it

The massively popular cricketer Chris Gayle has announced his retirement from ODIs, post the upcoming World Cup, sending fans in a tizzy. But if we were you, we wouldn’t be too worried. ‘Cause we know that while we’d immensely miss the left-handed big hitting, we wouldn’t miss the outgoing Chris popping on our newsfeeds, living his life king size! The 39-year-old West Indies player is the self-declared “Universe Boss”, and his lifestyle stands testimony to the flattering title. Here’s proof.

Referencing James Bond, Chris says he’s feeling shaken and stirred, much like a martini! That’s him chilling in a pool with a sunken bar, rocking the octopus trunks. Chris is addicted to pools and franky, given the opportunity, who wouldn’t!

Chris’ love for alcohol is well documented, and here’s a happy Chris carting massive Laurent-Perrier Champagne bottles for last X’mas party.

Who doesn’t like to own such hot wheels, and our man Chris is no different. Here’s Chris with a swanky yellow Ferrari.

And what’s Chris without a killer 6-pack, you ask? Here’s the Universe Boss giving us inspo for the entire year. If we spent the time and effort he spends at the gym, maybe we’d be a step closer to becoming a boss too!

Perks of being a celebrated cricketer is that a lot of other world-class athletes are your friends. Here’s Chris with fellow Jamaican athlete Usain Bolt at a party. The two are thick friends, and Chris has a long roster of celebrity friends. How we would like that too!

And speaking of parties, here’s the Gayle family at the Ultra Carnival in St Kitts, which is co-founded by Chris’ wife, Allysa Berridge. The family shows up in full costume, and the happy pictures of the party speak for itself.

Probably the most important part of the Universe Boss’ life is Universe Princess Kris-Allyna! Chris dotes on his little tot like the most loving father, and says that he often tears up a bit at the antics of the two-year-old. Oh, and you should know that the Universe Princess has her own Instagram handle with over 20,000 followers.

Another important part of Chris’ lifestyle is time spent with his wife. We often see him call her the ‘real boss’, and they spend a several holidays together and attend parties all dressed up.

And lastly, how can we not mention his leaning towards the Rastafarian lifestyle. With red-yellow-green beads and gear, that’s his nod to Jamaican legend Bob Marley and we absolutely love it!
